The Ducks have added two more recruits to their 2016 recruiting class, both of whom are Oregonians. After the two in-state players’ commitments, Oregon now has a recruiting class of five players for 2016. Aside from the two local commits, the Ducks have also recently added 4-star QB Seth Green, 4-star wide receiver Dillon Mitchell, and another 4-star wide receiver, Theo …
Remember Thomas Tyner? You know, the 4-star recruit who was the 6th-best RB in his entire class. Maybe you know him as the freshman who ran for more 700 yards in 2013, averaging 6.2 yards per carry and scoring 9 TDs. He was supposed to be the next great Duck RB, and man, was he on pace to be. And then, just …
The Oregon Ducks football team begins spring practices Tuesday and the battle for starting positions amongst new and returning skill position players will begin. For wide receiver Bralon Addison, the road to 2015 spring training has been a long one, but it has finally arrived. This week will most likely be filled with mixed emotions, bringing back the memories of last …
“Will Oregon get the Death Penalty? Details after the break!” I will never forget that promo that radio host for 750 AM (Portland) and sportswriter for OregonLive, John Canzano uttered over the radio. Even as I recoiled in disgust, I would bet he was smiling when he said that. Really — you can hear someone being gleeful as they speak …
With the NFL draft rapidly approaching and mock drafts coming in from every analyst with an internet connection, Oregon fans are getting used to the bittersweet feeling of seeing star alumnus Marcus Mariota top nearly every board in the country. Sweet because we love to see a young Duck take wing. Bitter because of the empty nest he’s leaving behind. Mariota owns nearly every …
Mike Merrell’s Three-and-Out When the College Football Playoff Committee announced its first list of teams belonging in the final four, it seemed that the Confederacy had won the Civil War and banned everything north (and west) of the Mason-Dixon Line. Fortunately, by the time the vote counted for anything more than a weekly dose of drama, the committee had come …
The weather is beautiful and the smell of fresh cut grass lingers in the air, well it must be baseball season again, ladies and gentlemen. The time of year to sit outside in the sun and enjoy America’s favorite pastime and what better way to enjoy it than by watching our beloved Oregon Ducks take the field. The Ducks recently went …
Oregon Ducks recruit Nigel Knott, a CB from Mississippi, was named the MVP of the New Orleans Nike Opening Regional. For those of you who don’t know, The Opening is a combine-like event that is hosted by Nike for high school athletes. The Opening consists of regional competitions around the country from which the top 150 recruits are selected to …
We made too many wrong mistakes – Yogi Berra Loud is the gnashing of teeth and rending of garments in Eugene: the Ducks lost a run-rule shortened game 10-2. Even worse, the loss was to the No. 19 Huskies. From an Oregon perspective, it was an ugly game. Washington scored four unearned runs in an eight-run fourth inning explosion — …
Oregon Ducks wide receiver Devon Allen suffered a right knee injury returning the opening kickoff against Florida State in the NCAA’s inaugural College Football Playoff semifinal game last New Year’s Day. Many experts speculated that Allen may not play football this year, due to the severity of the injury. With those concerns in mind, FishDuck.com reached out to the Allen …
To those living outside of the 159,190 person city that is Eugene, Oregon, the name Marcus Mariota probably means very little. A dual-threat QB from the University of Oregon, Mariota and the Ducks offense were perennially entertaining to watch — unless they were playing your team, that is. Those outside Eugene probably know the QB is a highly touted NFL recruit, predicted …
As I stated in my article about the absurdity of Marcus Mariota falling to the 13th pick in the draft, NFL “experts” don’t always respect our Oregon Ducks. Mariota isn’t the only player to fall victim to this bias, with Arik Armstead being projected to go No. 28 overall in the draft. Interestingly enough, this is the same mock draft …
